SUMMARY:Evidence Generation for Diagnostics Development
DESCRIPTION:New diagnostics can provide great advantages to patient care. However\, diagnostics developers need to provide a portfolio of evidence that demonstrates these benefits before their technologies can reach the UK market and benefit patients\, the public and the health and care system. \nJoin us for a step-by-step guide to evidence development for new diagnostics. \nAttendees will learn: \n*What evidence should be produced? \n*Why is the evidence important? \n*How can the evidence be generated? \nThe course will introduce key concepts and is suitable for anyone with an interest in this area. \nPresentations last 30 minutes with a 15 minute question and answer session at the end. \nAttendees will receive recordings and content from the presentations after the course.
